Ms. Hara, thank you very much for coming. I've been anxious to get an update on the situation there.
As far as south Sudan itself goes, I realize that there has been an awful lot of tribal tension occurring in the last year. I also realize that Salva Kiir is trying to keep a lid on that, because he wants to run for the presidency, with an al-Bashir who's kind of stained as a result of the ICC.
I'm also aware that so much emphasis has been placed on Juba, Rumbek, the development, and so on and so forth, that up in the border areas, which were really the regions hardest hit during the civil war, very little development is taking place. Much of the CPA money never went up there. As far as a lot of the people there go, they hardly even know that Juba exists. Even the civil society leaders who were supposed to come up there don't want to go that far into the north. So what you have there are a number of people, right at the border region, who have just been at war recently, without really much in the way of administrative control, help, or standards.
I wanted to ask you about another thing, as well. I'm also aware that the SPLA was bringing all sorts of IDPs out of south Darfur into north Darfur, especially in the rural east area, the Twic County area, for the census. I understand the reasoning for that, but the problem is that there were not the social services and things like that necessary to house some of these people. I know that in one area there are 130,000 of these people who are settling in, and they've overrun what is available.
I realize that people want to talk about the referendum and the elections that are coming up, but it seems to me it's imploding, kind of on the inside, across regions, across tribes, and even between peoples like the Dinka and Nuer. Is it your sense that we're not paying enough attention to that? As we spend our time focusing on Darfur and the ICC, is the very thing we thought had come together as a result of the CPA now all breaking apart at the seams?
